FALL-APART SLOW COOKED LAMB LEG

If you love tender, juicy lamb that practically melts in your mouth, this one’s for you! It’s an easy slow cooker recipe that makes your whole house smell AMAZING—and the rich, homemade gravy? Absolutely next level! Perfect for Sunday dinner, meal prep, or a weeknight treat when you want something hearty with no fuss.

What you NEED:
1 leg of lamb
½ cup water
2 onions, cut in half
1 bulb garlic, cut in half
1 bay leaf
1 sprig rosemary (or 1 tbsp dried)
1 tbsp stock powder
2 tsp salt
2 tbsp plain flour
2 cups water

What you DO:
In your slow cooker, add the ½ cup water, onion, garlic, rosemary, bay leaf and stock powder.
Rub the salt all over your lamb leg, then pop it straight into the slow cooker.
Lid on! Cook for 5 hours on HIGH or 10 hours on LOW, until it pulls apart easily with a fork.
Once it’s done, take the lamb out and shred it into chunks or strips.

Let’s make gravy!
Strain the cooking liquid through a sieve into a saucepan, pressing down to squeeze out all that garlicky, oniony goodness.
Skim the fat off the top.
Put your saucepan on the stove, whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute.
Pour in 2 cups of water, then simmer and stir until it’s thick and luscious. Taste and season if needed (I didn’t add a thing!).
Pour that glorious gravy all over your lamb and get ready for happy faces at the table!

  1. I'd have to seal the leg first but I'm enjoying your shorts
    Reason being there's no maillard reaction that occurs in a slow cooker so you have to find way to to add it as long slow cooking sometimes makes slow cooker food taste similar or muted

  2. I wish lamb was readily available in our grocery stores meat departments in the US.
    When they do have small cuts it is so expensive 😞

  3. 45 hours? You sure? Sure sure? Nunu!!! You have any idea how risky that would be to do in South Africa with loadshedding? And the costs!!!

  4. Even before I roast a lamb, I marinate it 8-12 hours. Poultry seasoning for lamb? No ma'am. Lamb is a dark meat like beef. Tender doesn't equal flavor. Consider adding some red wine to your gravy. Those would be my suggestions if you are considering crock pot.

  5. You can do that in your oven and it only takes 2 hours at 220° fan. I do same method with all roasts, Lamb, chicken or beef. Works out perfectly every time and the best stock for gravy every time.
